Thanks for sharing Thomas. Sounds like they are well on their way.michelke Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Thanks for cheering me on Michelle and Suzanne! wowow - we had quite a meeting today! I am now sitting on the 4 hour train journey back home. It was a Whole Person Process facilitated meeting including what I call a Galleria and some kind of Worldcafé. I have almost always used OST for the last piece of the meeting but decided to try something else this time and must say I am happy with that. Working OST-style for 1,5-2 hours can be little too little even if the group has already had 1,5 explorative days and 1/2 day action planning (3 weeks ago). So I had, with the assistance of the leadership team, prepared 6 questions to explore in the Worldcafé style part: How do we follow up, report back and communicate in the coming work? The role of the sponsor (for action plans - there are 23 of them)? I actually use a word: Frågebärare which translates to a person who carries (but not heavily) the question (or in this case the action plan) forward. Each also having a team. How do we make decisions and implement the projects? How do we let the spirit of OST live in the continued work? + two open questions: What else is important to move the work forward? Before that they had worked to update themselves with "What did I do, hear, see happening after the OSTs?" They also read the evaluation results from the OSTs and worked in the galleria to gather ideas on how to use what they learnt + possible obstacles + what assistance they need… (this is influenced from The Kirkpatrick evaluation model I use). Finally the 30 participants had a little time for reflection before gathering at the action planning wall. Another 20 actions were taken responsibility for. Different actions such as inviting the group of an action plan to a meeting, two groups wanted to merge, others decided to cooperate and others are already at implementation. Some important questions were also clarified regarding what decisions need to be taken where. Some assumptions that were clarified - and space opened up! Well, what a day - and what courageous leadership in that organization. We have planned a follow up meeting in the end of February - which will have a similar design - maybe OST that time though (-: (for the "How do we go on from here?" part of the meeting. In that meeting we let the participants explore level 3-4 in the evaluation model. What actions/behaviors can we see now (3) and what results/benefit do we see (4)… To learn from what they did - and use that knowledge when planning next steps... Well, better get on with the documentation (putting pictures into a document) Thomas 17 sep 2013 kl. 10:23 skrev Suzanne Daigle <[email protected]>:
